Official American Track League #1 - The Track Meet by Sound Running - Discussion Thread (2-3:30 pm ET on ESPN)

They all had bad races which probably means he tossed them in right after a heavy training block and they’re all exhausted. Also, If Hall isn’t injured, she may need to step back because that was so bad. Infeld looked really bad too.

Can you be a little more specific?

Who do they have on that team that is any good besides Kerry anyway? I think most of these groups actually do a great job with the great talent.

Salazar sucked as a coach when he had B talent. Then he got A talent and was pretty good. The same is true of all of these coaches.

When was the last time that Robby Andrews finished a race? Time to pack it in and put that UVA degree to work

Is this the first race he hasn't finished this season? (I thought he finished everything, so far, but slowly. I certainly may be wrong on this.)

Did he ever graduate from UVA, after bailing out to turn pro while in college?

While Robby Andrews may never match or exceed his previous bests again, I find it ridiculous that so many armchair quarterbacks are calling for him to pack it in just because he's not shining right now. So he's going through a prolonged bad stretch, based on race times. He's not the first star to do so, and he won't be the last, and we don't know the circumstances (e.g., due to injury or the ongoing ravages of the mysterious Lyme Disease). He may wow us again, as so many others do in this sport; Centro was being ripped to shreds...until May 15th's results, that is. Isn't that so?

Unfortunately, it's an Olympic year now, so it's bad timing for Andrews. To quit now is something he may decide upon, and he could hold his head high and be applauded for a great career should he bow out of competition, but he also may return to form. How old is he? 30? He potentially has something left, in terms of physiology, anyway -- if injuries and Lyme Disease, etc, aren't going to keep him down.

Good luck to Robby Andrews, I say. 2021 may not be his year, but 2022 may be spectacular, for all we know.

Norris has shown herself to have the knack for winning (Virginia, Drake ) but 4:02 (8sec PR progression in just a few months) moves her into the OT finals discussion.

Fixed:

I’m not saying the guy should retire, but to lump him in with Centrowitz is nonsense. Robby looks legitimately toasted every time he’s raced this year — anyone with half a brain and who isn’t a troll knew Centro would show up to USA’s ready to go.

And to those questioning Jerry’s tactics: have you ever heard of malleability and resilience? Not knowing what is coming in every single workout, rep, and race prepares athletes for the exact same circumstances at meets and races. Unpredictability and being able to cope with it is a huge part of success in the sport.

As of course is talent, and he does get the best. He also makes the most of it.

No one cares

Sure they do. Too bad you don't. Congrats to Josette Norris. I doubt she will be crying to Robby Andrews, her husband dearest, when she learns from this forum that mommydearest doesn't care.

Ostrander ran 15:18 in what I believe is her first race in a while. Pretty good for coming back from injury.

Ooooo! Someone's got their panties all twisted up in a knot. LoL. You must not be familiar with this board. Everything gets out in the open. Take a chill pill

I like how everyone just ignores Hassan because it is painfully obvious that she’s DOPED 2 the gills

Hah. She wouldn't be the only one out there doped up. Some of the performances were had a bit of magic juice behind them

most definitely. who do you suspect?

Of course the usual suspects everyone always talks about. But evem more obvious when someone keeps dropping times with each race in incredible chunks to go from a somewhat decent college runner to the top in the country in 2 months smells like dope

Hahaha. Obviously obsessed. Having to start another thread on this topic. Only you care. This is either Norris, Andrews or one of her pitiful high school groupies.
